How to Rearrange Scenes
 
There is a way to rearrange Scenes:

Select the scene you want to move and press Cmnd+left or right. Voila!

I searched through the manual and the addendum, I think this is an undocumented feature.

And why is this not possible with the mouse?

I'm using a Mac, so I don't know what the button combination is on Windows though. Please let the forum know.

Yes, great find! I found out you can also do it from the controller.
Hold the scene button and use the left/right arrows (under browse and sampling) to move them.

You can duplicates scenes. Hold the scene button and look in the left display to push the corresponding button

Even better is if you "pin down" Scene mode first by pressing and holding the Scene button and pressing Soft Button #1. Then you can freely move scenes around.

On a similar topic ....
I was looking for a means to Duplicate Patterns to a specific Pattern slot (rather than the default duplicate default of filling the next adjacent slot). Press and hold Pattern then press Soft Button #1. Now instead of using the Soft Button based Duplicate function instead you can use the regular Duplicate modifier button on the controller. Press and hold Duplicate then tap the source Pattern and then the destination Pattern slot ... done!

Input monitoring while sampling

It actually really simple:

Go to Group H (which I use for sends and FX) and set a sound to Input Mode. Select the source and leave it.

Now you can go to your sampling routine. Select a pad, enter sampling and start playing your records. While you're sampling, the pad from Group H is still monitoring the input ;)

I bet you didn't knew that, did you ? :D

PS: Input monitoring while in sampling mode is a bloody must. And MAKE IT DEFAULT not optional :)) Because you can't bloody sample while not listening :))

haha thats amazin', at work tho and cannot test but based on what you are saying and the fact you are s-s-s-saying it i am sure it will work..

alexbuga 08-01-2010 09:57

It's tested man. I sample my electric guitar that way.
I wish I could bring Guitar RIG in Maschine like that :))

Quick tip for those who like to use Maschine as a plug-in in Ableton Live:

I like to have multiple instances of maschine in a set for different "songs", so it's important to be able to activate/deactivate Maschine instances to save resources. When you turn Maschine on via it's ableton device, you get a pop/stutter. This is no good live of course. To get around this (and any other plug-in that causes this), load Maschine inside Kore and set Maschine's 8 outputs to Kore's 8 outputs. For some reason when you turn Kore on and off as an ableton device, it is silent and smooth and causes no hiccup. It's also cool to have 8 channels of Maschine going through Kore for other purposes.

Maschine inside Kore is now the default way I use Maschine.

While I enjoy the kits that come with Maschine, sometimes I want to take the best shots from different kits and combine them in a new group, to save as a different kit.

Just load a kit into Group A, find the shots you like, and drag the "sound" into Group B in the arrangement window. Then load a different kit into Group A, and repeat the process.

The sounds will just load onto the next available pad in Group B. Then rename the kit and save it as a new kit. Easily inspires.

you can also do this using only the controller.

press duplicate and hold on to it while choosing the sound you like,
press group B and than the pad you want to have the sound on.

Scene / Pattern Audio Export:
------------------------------------
Make sure 'Loop Optimize' is enabled in the Export Audio options or your exported audio will not be right in Ableton.

I'm new to beat making and Mashine.

I saw the video up above and have been trying to figure out for a while now how to do it.

I have a windows OS and am trying to figure out how to sample from my computer to the Mashine.

I was poking around looking for answers and have learned a bit so far...like the guy in the video used Soundflower but that was for Mac.

I ended up getting a program called Virtual Audio Control Panel. Now I realize i'm not really going from the computer to the Mashine but from one program to another...but how do I accomplish this?

Do I need a different program other than the Virtual Audio Control Panel?

It seems like this should work but I guess I'm not getting all the settings right...

Any advice or recommendations...?

^most windows souncards have in their settings a stereo output you can choose for recording.

Production tips:
------------------

missing the "killer sound" in your track?
play two or more standard boring sounds together, tweak them, filter them, distort them. record to a new pad - voila!

never underestimate the power of stereo. take the same sound twice, one hard panned left, the other right and play them slightly shifted.

Keep your group levels down. Go to Master -> Source and set all groups to at least -6, then you'll have room to get sounds really punchy in your mix.

more to come

Very nice!

But could you perhaps provide a video or some screenshots explaining the process?

Thank a bunch, hunch! :lol:

You can select Soundflower as an input in Ableton's settings and route that into Maschine that way.

merge patterns....theres a workaround i use to merge patterns, its a bit complicated but i prefer this over recreating everything from scratch again...if you f.e. wanna put pattern 2 as a tail to pattern 1
1.highlight the part or the whole pattern u want to move with mouse
2.leftclick on it , drag it while pressing crtl and keep it dragged (u should hold a duplication now)
3.move to the pattern u like to add ur notes to with the hardware, keep it leftclicked dragged
4. drop it

this also works for effects incl. adjustments

Hi groove people !
i have been reading this thread every morning since i received this marvellous maschine ! (yeah clap clap ...)
so thanks for many tips i have found here !

Today i post because i read about some routing , but here is a part of the Maschine possibilities that i still cannot understand (exept the principe ...) so could some one make one or two "real step by step " examples (with an effect , or with a sound ) ?

great thanks by advance ! have fun and make it groove ...

ps : and sorry if my english is bad ; it is not bad it is good french english !
